The New Year has pretty much just begun, and it’s already so busy I don’t even know what to do with myself. This year has started off with a bang, and I’ve already broken one of the food blogger’s cardinal rules: I’ve shown up empty-handed to parties.

Ugh.

How does a food blogger not bring food to a party? I’m still not sure how it happened.

It wasn’t my shining moment.

I’ve had plenty of New Year’s resolutions this year (let’s not actually talk about if I’ve kept them or not…), but after the aforementioned blunder, which I’ve dubbed as “the incident,” I’m tacking on a new resolution that I will never, under any circumstances, show up empty handed to a party.

Cue these mini pepperoni pizza bites. Made with fantastic yet easy ingredients, these can be whipped up in a moment’s notice for any party. If I could make a suggestion, I’d probably make these for that Big Game that’s coming up soon? *hint hint*

These easy, Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bites require only a handful of ingredients:

1. RAGÚ® Homestyle Traditional Pasta Sauce

2. Pizza Dough

3. Pepperoni

4. Mozzarella (or a blend of Italian cheeses)

5. Olive oil

6. Oregano, Salt, & Pepper

See? Now both you and I have absolutely no excuse to show up empty-handed to a party. In fact, people will probably demand you make these for any and all get-togethers. Demand, I tell you.

…

You’re welcome?

If you’re anything like me, when it comes to pizza, the star of the show is definitely the sauce. While there are plenty of other ingredients that come into play when baking pizza, without a quality, flavorful sauce, the pizza lacks in overall taste.

For these Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bites, I used RAGÚ Homestyle Traditional Pasta Sauce, which is a rich, hearty sauce filled with real, farm-grown ingredients that have been simmered to perfection. It has an amazing made-from-scratch taste and is free from artificial flavors. Additionally, there is no high fructose corn syrup or artificial history with this sauce.

These Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bites filled with RAGÚ Homestyle Traditional Pasta Sauce are the perfect solution to your tailgating/homegating party spread! I mean, who doesn’t love pizza?! Your friends and family are going to love you for this. Trust me.
